Is there literally no market for a single lineup of "non-bling" cars as far as IT goes? I haven't met a single person, even non-geeks, who like this shit. Ok, some might like a big screen for navigation. But they don't like the system powering it becoming obsolete 3 years later.

I do understand that selling your customers' data is lucrative, but of all the car makers, not a single one thinks there's a market for an alternative?!! I don't understand.

I'm also slightly worried about HN's "solution": buy cars old enough not to be enshittified. Sure, I get the instinct, but there's a limit on how long that'll work. Much better would be to be politically engaged and work for a better future where this shit is illegal.
